he took exception that he called his smartphones use of him as beck and call 

                                                                                That’s not true.

It is  Its a fact  Why dispute itya think not masculine Im knockin your masculinity  Its a simple confirmable fact  Your phone sounds an yare on it like an itch tha ya need to scratch  Don take exception  Yare virtually like everyone else  bound to their phone like it or not

No, I’m not like that.

No actually you are

                      Im unlike tha I don carry it everywhere  I respond to itits messages voicemail texts in my time when I feel like it  Not when it beckons 

Mines a mere tool

And that’s because you had your daughter cull your smartphone of virtually everything smartphones provide . .

. . Such provisions  An the while you have allowed remain enabled an enabled at its beck and call

I wouldn’t say that.

No ya woudnt thas why Im callin ya out 

                                              Yacant deny it

The reason why I bring this up is because two intrepid journalists discovered tha through no fault of your own your information coud have been debased  a software was createdPegasus  tha can access all the operations youve enabled on your smartphone an use them for their purposepossibly nefarious purposes  The US government was late to the game but its now been outlawed

looking up from the book he read as he crossed the street he saw a cardboard sign leaning against the palegreen metal signal box  a vile disgustscent straighten his spine  he immediately he looked aboutaround for the street corner demonstrator who left it

to date Trumpvirus has killed 1,128,330 Americans  granted not revealed is how many deaths occurred to people who were vaccinated although he believed that number would be miniscule

therefore

                                                                    You okay, man?

Huh

   I asked if you’re okay.

Ah yah  Okay   Yes thank you   

What you thinking?

Crazy Had an old song run across my mind    I havent thought of it in years

One I’d know?

Oh no doubt Title an group 

                             Queer  Outa nowhere it came on me  Suppose one cant ever tell when something will surface  How they catchaffect them

   Queer?  Not your usual parlance.

No  Not really 

               But accurate

How so? he saw his countenance had relaxed If you don’t mind.

   No  I don mind   Renee a mild stirring began anew 

The song? 

A girl 

       Rather a young woman he sighed  Four Tops  Walk Away Renee 

Oh yes I know it . a great song.

Is a great song 

               Was a great song for her  Had a real thing for her    Real thing before the real thing

Renee A vivacious redhead Im not keen on gingers  Most the troublethe nonsense we got into was her doing But she was outrageous  A gas a riot loved how her mind worked   

I was all in 

And?

As the song goes

                   Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall I was ridiculous

Awwhell  I was in love

First time?

First time beyond puppy love crushes   Remember

I do I do, although I can’t say I tied many songs to particular girlfriends, the time certainly . . but not to a particular girl.

Thas too bad

Too bad? 

          You’ll excuse me, by your expressions . . maybe not so bad.

Its not so bad Renee and Walk Away Renee are entwined  No sooner had Renee broke upHA we didnt breakup we werent an item  we were hanging  hanging out together a lot  A lot  

                                                                          But no sooner than we went our separate ways walking down the street  from out of a house out of an upstairs bedroom window I heard Walk Away Renee  Like it an she were haunting me

What happened? How did things go south?

HA My compass was askew Nothing went south All in my head   Renee had affection for me truly  She cared for me

She liked girls more 

Queer.

You’re always thinking . . . sure.

You know wha I think is funny

A comedic venture, not your usual . . sure.

But not necessarily funny in a nice waykind way

There you are . . you were beginning to spook me.

I think its funny when celebrities decide to play house

Celebrites? 

Yes 

     An nowdays influencers  yes

   Why?

Wha do you think

Do I have to?

No No   Have an opinion

                                                      Dare I say

Or shall I leave it to you                     

I don’t know what you’re talking about. 

You do

I don’t.

You do  

         Life coaches 

Oh. 

    That.

Yes 

So what made you think of that?

I have to think

 

Nothing

   Out of the blue the locus coeruleus  Blue spot

What?

Its the nucleus in the pons of the brainstem 

                                              The blue spot Derived from its azure appearance in unstained brain tissue Tissue  I like to think my brain is more substantialsignificant than tissue  Blue The colouring is due to light scattering from neuromelanin in noradrenergic nerve cell bodies

he blinked

Noradrenergic  Produces norepinephrine A neurotransmitter a hormone critical to the fight-or-flight response Which ultimately intimately may suggest why I havent a blue spot per se  Im prone to fight 

                                                                                         However tha doesnt exclude something out of the blue occurring to me 

he withheld a shouldershrug  I think I shouldn’t let you think.

no news was good news

he was becoming musey  Seeing

                                     confirmed it when he read page 29  Cormac McCarthys Stella Maris 

“How many people if they could snap their fingers and vanish would do so? . . . All trace of both being and ever having been.” 

        “To wish oneself never to have been. Again, not the same as no longer to be.   Who was that? Anaximander? Anaximanders conclusion  when considering the underlying foundation of the universe this world has the capacity for infinite plurality  thereby things within our universe are unique   The same for whom?” 

 

he considered disappearing to suicide several times and thought it was his until he read McCarthy

he would concede

who was he

             he wasnt in McCarthys league few were  but he wrote  and in near-vein he wrote How very nice to disappear rather than die  atomise 

                                        he didnt think as McCarthy did  negating ones life their history erased too   he may have been influenced by Ambrose Bierces The Devils Dictionary  Carlos Fuentes  The Old Gringo  example

Bierce left his correspondents job for Hearst publications and riding a horse into Mexico disappeared off the face of the earth   

   lotsa people disappear in Mexico

he conceded

              but was pleased that he and McCarthy concurred
